Amazon prime?

I have it as part of their package, but would never use it. Hard drives are so cheap, why put all your data on someone else's machine?

If fire is a risk, just keep a separate drive at a relative's house.

Same as @gremlin16 - Amazon is a backup backup backup backup (local NAS/HDD, HDD at work, NAS/HDD at family member's house)
 
useful backup to go along with a few others, films are good service is good if you have prime be stupid not to use it in my opinion
 
I actually got prime for the unlimited photo storage. I have set it up so that all my lightroom imports i.e. all my keepers are automatically backed up to Amazon drive.
You also get free 5GB storage for other files which I use to back up my lightroom catalogue (also automatically backed up weekly). But that'll fill the 5GB every few months so I have do some manual clean up from time to time.
For the catalogue I have 1 back up file for every year, 1 back up file for every month in the current year, and 1 back up for every week in the current month. That's my strategy anyway..... Tbh the old catalogues are pretty useless now, should probably just delete them.

I also have harddrives that has a copy of all my pictures with redundancy (i.e. I have two copies of all the files).

Yes, there's no need to keep more than a few LR catalogues and they do build up to quite a size. Good idea to back up your catalogues to the "other files" section. Looks like you've got it sussed!
